About the Artwork

Eric N. Mack (Headlands Artist in Residence ‘19) creates work whose form varies from sculpture and installation to wall pieces and works on paper. In his works, readymade elements such as garments, blankets, pegboards, magazine pages, and grommets recompose and transmute as they meet Mack’s use of mediums like acrylic paint, glitter, and dye. Mack’s visual language speaks through these materials, and through color and texture, optics and flux. His works flow and shift, alive with a spectrum of hues, irregular shapes, and poetic drama. Mack was the recipient of the inaugural BALTIC Artists’ Award, selected by artist Lorna Simpson. He was featured in the Whitney Biennial 2019, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, as well as Greater New York 2015, MoMA PS1, Long Island City; he has had solo exhibitions at The Power Station, Dallas; Scrap Metal Gallery, Toronto; and Brooklyn Museum, New York; among others. His work is in the permanent collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York; Hood Museum of Art, Hanover, New Hampshire; The Studio Museum in Harlem; and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
